Cybersecurity Considerations for Power Substation SCADA Systems Using IEC-61850 Communications
When including security controls into a SCADA system design, it is sometimes difficult to separate design goals from security requirements. The foremost goal for a SCADA system is to provide protection, automation, and data acquisition. This paper discusses major vulnerabilities and cybersecurity considerations that require proper analysis when designing and implementing a secure IEC-61850 standard-based SCADA system within a power substation.
